    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Personally I would only use a one piece timing chain in my motor, I know you have to split the cases. Just a security thing with me. But the tools are cool!

I thinkt that the second one is identical to the motion-pro tool:

Scotty, just get an electric angle grinder for that kind of money, much more versatile....will do chain rivets too....did you check the chain to even see if it's stretched before you do this? do you need specs? The 20 pitch(pin) length should be, 157.80 mm, 6.213 in.

ill be in touch Dave.
my plan is to open the valve cover and check all the items under there first.

It does look like the motion pro tool.

PLEASE tell me why you would prefer to split the case. Isn't a properly done link the same as an endless chain?? After all, folks rivit the drive chain which takes lots more beating and is not always in oil like the cam chain???????

I was thinking of ape chain but i want to find a source for just a new link. I'm a bit insecure about using the original one over again although i realize it is often done safely that way.
 
A rivet link is good, but the APE chain I have comes with no master link and my engine builder said that on modified motors that this chain is the best. The riveted link is good if done properly, but leaves a little human error to chance. As far as a master link............NEVER!
